To find the distance from the starting point when the projectile reaches its maximum height, you need to use the horizontal component of the projectile's motion. At the maximum height, the vertical velocity component is 0, and only the horizontal velocity component contributes to the distance from the starting point. The horizontal distance traveled is given by the formula:
Given the initial velocity m/s and the launch angle , you can find the horizontal velocity component () using:
Then, calculate the time it takes for the projectile to reach its maximum height using the vertical motion equation:
Where is the initial vertical velocity component and is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately ).
Once you have , plug it into the horizontal distance formula to find the distance from the starting point when the projectile reaches its maximum height.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
